Fallen Rebel

It's a concept that's difficult in this modern world to fully grasp, the idea of having war on our soil here in America.

I've been asked the last year or so to photograph national historical Civil War battlefields. Several of my images are published in the Hallowed Ground Magazine put out by the Civil War Trust. I am honored to provide an artistic view of how these places make me feel.  It's an eery feeling to be on a historical battlefield before the sun rises and experience the quietness of such places. I have a special place in my heart for everyone that was part of, or witnessed the Civil War.

Image of Henry Lawson Wyatt, an Edgecombe County teen, shot through the head on June 10, 1861. Later it was discovered he wasn't the first Rebel to fall. But Wyatt's backers pushed through and placed the statue, and he's received the credit ever since.
